Not
being able to see the wood from the trees doesn't quite sum
up this month.

It's
more like you can't see the blindfold factory because you
are trying on a blindfold.

You can see the distinction here: in a wood at least you can
take a step back to see the trees (unless you are in the unlikely
situation that your nose is stuck in a knot in a tree). If
you have a blindfold on you can see nothing but the inside
of the blindfold... Twist your neck too and fro, no difference.
That's this month in a concise metaphor or was that an analogy?
it's at times like this that we start to wonder if we have
been looking up at the stars too much and need to do some
readin'.

Congestion,
perhaps involving road traffic, problems with your cellphone
network or possibly mucus, are all set to pepper this month
with problems of the waiting, waiting, and coughing-sneezing
kind.

Certainty
over an old saying could be tested by a three year old child
this month. Beware.
